Dennix is a Unix-like operating system with a monolithic kernel written in C++ and a POSIX-compliant userland. It is a fully self-hosting operating system, meaning it can compile itself from within its own environment. Dennix includes a basic windowing system, dynamic linker, and terminal interface, and supports ELF binaries, memory management, and multitasking. As a hobbyist OS, it offers an impressive amount of functionality and polish, making it a notable example in the field of self-built systems.
